Additional Info:

Welcome to Waterloo’s own Pickup Hub, where you can participate in a single game on a drop-in basis.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SHINNY HOCKEY GAME!

Stick and Puck is to help grow the game of hockey. With time dedicated to practicing skills and helping grow players, this program is a middle ground between a public skate and a full game. HELMET and GLOVES ARE MANDATORY. Full CSA equipment is recommended as well as your own stick and puck. The organization of a full game is not permitted during this time. We will also not be allowing any type of hockey aids or apparatuses (pylons/deflectors/etc). Players or equipment (pucks) also should not go on the ice until the city staff have concluded the ice preparations and the resurface doors ARE FULLY CLOSED. This is done for the safety of our staff and equipment.

How To Get Started…

1. Create a Pickup Hub player account.

2. Reserve your spot online.

3. Check-in with Customer Service before your game to receive a wristband.

4. Have fun playing a sport you love!

Wristband Policy:

Wristbands indicate you as a player for the game, and it is your receipt – it must be worn. If you do not have your wristband, Program Staff will ask you to obtain it from Customer Service, and this can occur even after your game has begun. Staff can also request your ID to verify you are a registered player, so please be prepared to show ID.

Player Fees:

Buying, selling or using someone else’s spot in any PickupHub program is NOT PERMITTED. Players must remove themselves from a game allowing a new person to then take that spot. If you remove yourself prior to 12 hours before the game start time you will not be charged. If you continue to buy, sell or use someone else’s spot the result could be an indefinite suspension from the platform.

Game fees will only ever be taken at the time that a game goes live. If your game does not reach the minimum number of players before your game it will be cancelled, and players will not be charged. It is recommended that you always carry a light and dark coloured jersey to assist in team delineation.

Player Behaviour:

The City of Waterloo has a Respectful Behavior policy that can be found online at https://www.waterloo.ca/en/government/policies.asp . “The purpose of this policy is to promote a safe, healthy, respectful, and positive environment for members of the public, volunteers, and staff.”
